This morning I visited @eppingchurch & said a prayer of thanks for the staff @EppingStJohns.
In the face of adversity our #ESJfamily have rallied together to keep student progress at the centre of all that they do.
I wish you & your families a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. https://t.co/zElqhhQRpm

Could not be more #proud of our year 9s! They have made it to the u14s Essex Cup quarter finals after a 2-1 victory against FitzWimarc in the last 16. @EppingStJohns@ESJ_CPI Fantatsic way for us to finish the year. 2 games away from the final! #football

A day full of celebration today. Almost 200 students from all year groups were rewarded by watching a Christmas film and over 50 individual Year 7s were awarded for a great term! @EppingStJohnshttps://t.co/KNmgLy2AfW

Great day rehearsing for Epping on Broadway which is now officially a sell out performance! We can’t wait to show how talented we are tomorrow. #proud (heads up: we will be seating those with tickets first and assessing situation prior to on-the-door sales.) https://t.co/r5mhy5RL8y

Year 6 / 7 Transition

A well-thought out, thorough and considered transition process is very important to us at Epping St John’s. We want our new students to feel like they are part of the ESJ community even before they formally join us and transition fortnight is a huge part of ensuring that happens.

Transition days are set as early as January and we ensure that all of our feeder Primary schools are well aware of the ESJ Transition Calendar. We visit our Primary schools from March of the previous academic year and these visits ensure that our new students start to identify key members of staff that will support the transition process.

Induction Evening is always incredibly well attended and this is our opportunity as a school to formally welcome our new students and their parents/carers. Families hear from our Headteacher, members of the Leadership Team, the Director of Learning for Year 7 and some of our current students.

Our new students are placed into SMSC tutor groups and allocated an SMSC Tutor who is responsible for closely monitoring their academic and personal progress, setting targets and coaching them so that they feel settled, happy and committed to their learning. Year 7 are overseen by Ms Petrou; an outstanding pastoral leader who will ensure that their year is as successful as possible.

Key Transition Dates
Tuesday 26th June – Year 6 Induction Evening 6.30pm-8pm
Friday 29th June – Year 6 Induction Day 8.45am-2pm
Summer School – Monday 28th August – Thursday 30th August (allocated on a first come, first served basis)
